Chapter 502: Chapter 348: The Truth is Revealed - Playing Cards in an Unconventional Way

After carrying out a "biochemical" attack, Sean Knight didn’t make any more moves.

He called Elijah Hastings over and said:

"Elijah, go back to the base now. Check the security situation of the base and see if anyone is still stealing stuff.

Then call Robert and have him investigate that Indian Chief Kicapoo and this white person Beltran.

Beltran is most likely a treasure hunter. You wait there for Robert’s call, and when he finds out more information, you call Kathy Lewis.

Just tell her my instructions: to have her lawyer inform Beltran’s company that they are illegally operating on my land, and to leave as soon as possible."

When Sean suggested this, Elijah shook his head and said:

"Boss, I think you should go back to the base. We will keep watch here and make sure they don’t successfully salvage anything."

Sean shook his head and said:

"I want to stay here to see where they are salvaging and to find out where they discovered something underwater..."

"We can do all that stuff!" Elijah interrupted, "We have diving equipment too. We can dive in before them and they won’t even notice since the lake is so large.

As long as we keep an eye on their divers, won’t we know exactly where they’re salvaging?"

Sean could tell that Elijah and the others wanted him to be safe. They were just looking out for him.

After thinking about it, Sean agreed. After all, it was better for him to make the phone calls with Robert and Kathy Lewis.

He nodded and then reminded Elijah and the others:

"Your main task here is to find out where they are salvaging. Of course, make sure to hide yourselves well and not get caught.

Also, if you want to do something, don’t let them think it’s man-made sabotage. Make it look more mysterious!"

"Understood, understood. Boss, just go to the base with peace of mind." Douglas Cooper said with a grin, "Do you want Captain Hastings to go with you?"

"No need, no need. Oh, I’ll leave the supplies with you." Sean left the supplies from his backpack and then left the area.

Without the backpack and not needing to find his way, it only took Sean a little over a day to return to the base.

The traps surrounding the base were not triggered, it seemed that the sheriff and the others were doing their job well.

Sean immediately called Robert and filled him in on the situation.

"It’s quite difficult with just the name..." Robert said, "But if our guy is a legitimate chief, then we should have results quite soon. As for Beltran, you should be more familiar with the treasure hunting world..."

Sean replied:

"I’m not familiar. I only know some ways to sell goods and have not interacted much with others." Sean didn’t want to inquire through his own circle for this matter. It was better for professionals to handle professional matters.

Robert agreed, and Sean originally wanted to give him money. One of the main reasons for him to return to the base was that it was impossible to transfer money while making a satellite call in the forest.

Of course, he could owe the money, but Sean didn’t have that habit.

"There’s no need. I still have some of the money you deposited here that hasn’t been used up. Besides, this kind of small matter doesn’t cost much." Robert surprisingly refused.

Sean didn’t mind, and after hanging up, he took a set of diving equipment from the spatial realm, planning to carry it with him when going to Swan Lake.

It was inconvenient to search for treasure with others, as many things could not be taken out.

Sean waited in the base with peace of mind. Although he was alone, it was a rare opportunity to rest well on a bed, so he naturally didn’t waste this environment and time.

By nightfall, Robert called, and the detailed information he provided to Sean was somewhat unexpected.

"The Kickapoo Chief is from a Native American tribe that worships the sun god. This tribe originally lived in Arkansas, and it is most likely that their ancestors lived in the forest you now own.

Of course, I’m talking about their ancestors."

"You’re kidding? Their descendants still exist?" Sean felt that things were sliding in an unfavorable direction!

"Yes, back then, a small tribe then sided with the white people and moved to live in another place."

Robert’s words reminded Sean of the heinous crimes committed by white robbers against Native Americans back then.

What was the price of a scalp?

Err—back then, white people really didn’t treat Native Americans as human beings.

In a certain sense, the Native Americans who dared to resist the brutality of the white people back then had died out. Those who had survived either surrendered or left.

"This Kickapoo Chief was found by Beltran just before Brown’s death.

Beltran promised to help the tribe find a large amount of gold sacrificial implements left by their ancestors, and the chief was then tempted to follow Beltran there."

"What does Beltran do?" Sean asked.

"As you suspected, he is indeed a treasure hunter. A descendant of a family of treasure hunters, both his father and grandfather were treasure hunters.

His family is quite well-known in the field, having previously found the famous Great Pirate Robin’s treasure, valued at more than 1.8 million dollars worth of gold coins and various jewelry."
